String Theory

String theory is a relatively new approach to understanding some of mystries existing in modern physics.

String theory is by no means a complete theory and has been subject to much speculation. However more recently the theory has began to gather even more popularity and supporters. String theorists believe that whole universe is made up of incredibley small vibrating strings. The theory is favoured because of it's ability to incorporate the big with the very small. In string theory the principle that matter is made up strings instead of single points of matter enables this theory to encapsulate a quantum theory of gravity.

String theory comes in 5 flavours

• Type 1 String Theory
• Type 2 String Theory
• String Field Theory
• Heterotic String
